Summary

Trump’s support among Latinos has plummeted as he nears his first 100 days in office, with many saying they feel betrayed by the scope of his policies, particularly immigration enforcement.

Almost three in four Latinos (72%) now disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president.

Many Venezuelans, for example, have been impacted by the decision to revoke their Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

“Today, I feel the same way I felt in Venezuela— that they’re going to come take me somewhere I won’t be able to escape from.” “This is completely different from what I thought it was going to be.”

      I used to live in a heavily Hispanic area, and I can tell you there absolutely will be nothing learned from any of it.

      Cause any Republican attacks against Hispanics were always hand-waved away with some variant of “Of course, they’re talking about (insert Hispanic group the speaker hates), not about the good ones like (insert Hispanic group the speaker belongs to). If it wasnt for (hated group) fucking it all up things would be better for all of us!”

      Republicans don’t make such distinctions, to Republicans all Hispanics are just Mexicans.

      Which is how the leopards facial feast was laid out.

        They’re not unique in that regard. All his supporters will hand-wave away anything that affects them negatively.
